Installation Notes
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or debris before application.
- Sealant Application: Apply a generous amount of appropriate waterproof sealant or adhesive (not included) to the base of the gland and around the cable entry point to ensure a complete seal.
- Cable Routing: Carefully route the cable through the gland, ensuring it is centred and the adjustable mechanism is tightened securely around the cable.
- Curing Time: Allow sufficient curing time for the sealant as per the manufacturer's instructions before exposing the installation to weather.
Before You Buy
- Cable Diameter: Verify your cable's outer diameter falls within the 3-7mm range for optimal fit and waterproofing.
- Sealant Requirement: Remember that a suitable sealant or adhesive is required for installation and is not included with this product.
- Single Entry: Confirm you only require a single cable entry. Consider a double entry gland if two cables need to pass through.
- Surface Type: Ensure your mounting surface is compatible with adhesive bonding and can provide a stable base for the gland.
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your specific system requirements before purchase. Installation should be performed by a qualified individual where necessary.
